Thus far I haven't read anything that answers my curiosity.

AFTER you verify that your financial institution has done the patch "fix" THEN you change your password. The patch kills the current heartbeat.
The fear is that your old password may have already been "harvested" by the bug, so if you don't change it after the patch then the bad guys can use it even after the patch is done.
